ENTA – Etna Brewing Company will be joining the beautification and revitalization efforts on Miner Street by opening the Etna Brewing Company Tap House.The proposed location for the tap house is at 231 W. Miner Street. The tap house is an attempt to retrace Etna Brewing Company’s roots, according to brewery owner Kit Marshall. She said that the original Etna Brewing Company Tap House founded by Charles Kappler was located in Yreka.While Marshall is excited to assist in the efforts in Yreka, she is also looking forward to expanding the brewery and bringing a bit of history back to life.“We think Yreka is just going to rock,” said Marshall. “We want to be there when that happens.”The tap house will draw from history, using period photos with a rustic, classic feel, said Marshall. “There will be a little spin of surprising decor,” she said.Marshall said this branch will remain closely connection with the Etna pub, with a few surprises.The tap house will feature Etna Brewing Company beers on tap, in bottles and growlers.“Many people come from Yreka and they love the beer,” said Marshall. “So, we are going back to Kappler’s time and taking the beer to them.Marshall said the menu is in the works, but will likely be tapas-style, with an emphasis on snack foods.Like the Etna pub, there will also be live music and exciting events, said Marshall.The Yreka City Planning Commission will hold a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday June 18 to discuss approval for the taphouse.“It’s been there before, we are just taking it back,” said Marshall.
